Disease Prevention
As the old saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Learn how Lewis Cattle Oilers can prevent expensive and painful diseases in your livestock.
Pinkeye
Pinkeye is a painful disease that is spread by face flies and causes severe eye irritation, weight loss and the risk of permanent blindness.
Regular fly control with a topical backrub is the best method to prevent this disease in your herd.
Lice
Lice infestation causes skin irritation that results in cattle excessively rubbing. This condition is very uncomfortable for cattle and causes weight loss and poor performance.
Regular lice control with a topical backrub is the best treatment and prevention for this condition.
